Hi just wondering does anyone know where I'd find a good jiu jitsu gi but not too expensive?and does anyone know anything about the sizes? ;-)

Tattami Gi's are excellent value for money. Fast delivery too and no problems with customs.

I'd say you're closer to an A2 than an A3. Maybe first check with your club mates and try on some Jackets before ordering.

Tattami, Black Eagle and Faixa Rua are all Gi suppliers based in England. Prices would be similar in all three but do shop around. I have one of all three with Tattami being my favourite.

Thanks a mill,I'll look them up now,thanks for the link ;-)

Agree on you being closer to A2. I wear an A3 and I'm a muscular 205lb at 5'10.

MMA Supplies based out in Swords sell Tatami stuff if you're in Dublin. Least they have it on their website!!

I've a Tatami Premier Estillo gi, first gi I've ever had, but I like it a lot.

Ya, tatami are excellent. However, i'm 5'10 and about 185 and i got an a2 and it was just a little bit too small so i'd advise, if you can, try on another a2 tatami if possible. But you're probably in the same boat as me. A2 will be a little small and A3 will be a little big. My advice is try get a little bit fatter and fill out the A3.

KDavern

Yea I suppose I'll just have to try some on before I buy one,I've been looking at the tatami gi and i think I'll get one of them,yea your the same weight as me.I was planning on getting fatter but can't now,I've to stay on a diet for abit ,I might end up getting too big for an a2. ;-)

If you're interested, we have our own brand gis in stock in the shop at our school (www.defendu.ie) just off the m50/m1, they're excellent quality, white and 85 euro.... we also have two 2nd hand gis in great condition for sale, an A3 Black Kikskin and an Addidas Blue 180.

I'd say go for an A3 over an A2. If you take a look at the size chart on the websites it should be a good indication. I'm a little shorter than you and find my tatami A2 pants a bit short but they shrunk a bit because I'd to tumble dry it. I'd say go for the slightly bigger A3 and if it's too big you can shrink it to fit better.
